Fish History Did the whole goldfish in a bowl thing when I was a kid. Longest fish lasted 5 years I think. Got some goldfish in 2nd year of uni, before finally finding out they don't do well in 22 litre tanks :roll: Turned tank tropical, mild upgrade to 35 litre tank. Then July last yr, big upgrade to 170 litre tank. Two small tanks now just house 4 guppies each :wink:

Nickname Sad story that haha. Used to be obsessed with the show Roswell when I was 14. Posted on a forum using the nickname 'Roswellian in NZ' People there shortened it to Roz. Used it for my email address then. Then in high school, became my nickname as people got it from my email. Then in first year uni, we went through a phase of adding '-ski' to the end of every word. Hence I became "Rozski" :oops:
